The Devilish Immortal Chapter 195 - A Temporary Ally

Chapter 195 A Temporary Ally

After that, there were another three rounds of combat. Probably influenced by the death of Anye Tianlong, when a battle ended, the loser came out, intact. Whether both sides became more cautious or had weaker strength, they fought with normal Field Domains and magic treasures. In general, the battles were quite dull.

When the seventh combat ended, it was already totally dark. After Lyu Liang had messaged to his companions what he would be doing that night, he left directly with Huangfu Gang, who had a smile on, all the time.

When he arrived at Huangfu Gang’s residence, he was startled by what he saw. It was totally different from what it had been before, without any hint of splendidness. The courtyard was dark, and its decoration was also extremely simple. It was a wide contrast to its previous style!

The inner hall was also simple. Except for two chairs, a table, and a wooden bed without any bedding, there was nothing else inside the house.

“Brother Lyu, this is how I decorated the courtyard to confuse Anye Tianlong, every time he comes here.” Huangfu Gang said softly, but Lyu Liang was stunned. However, he remained composed and looked at Huangfu Gang seriously, as he knew that there would be a big story, behind his words.

Seeing that, Huangfu Gang burst into laughter. He gave a thumbs-up and said, “Haha, you are so calm. I appreciate that! Today, let us be frank with each other. There’s something you will need to know someday, so why not let me, the one who had a similar experience to yours, tell you about that?!”

Then, he clapped three times, and a golden flash swept across the entire courtyard. When everything cleared, the decoration was as luxurious as before, when Lyu Liang was there, for the first time.

However, this time, there were no servants or maids. Huangfu Gang waved his hand, and a wine pot and several dishes appeared on the wooden table.

“Brother Lyu, come and have a seat! We can talk as we eat!” Huangfu Gang smiled slightly and sat down first. Then, he began pouring the wine into Lyu Liang’s cup.

Lyu Liang sat down and said with a faint smile, “Brother Huangfu, your greeting, and your words, seemed to have profound meanings, which makes me greatly confused.”

“Haha, it’s my honor to confuse you. Now, let me be very frank with you!” “I’m indeed Huangfu Gang, and I did perform outstandingly on the battlefield. But actually, I’m merely a dog, working for the Dark Night Family in the Devil Realm!” Huangfu Gang smiled, but he had a grim look on his face and smashed the cup onto the ground.

This time, Lyu Liang was really puzzled, but then, he seemed to have realized something. He said in a low voice, “Brother Huangfu, are you the secret p.a.w.n of the enemy? Was it Anye Tianlong who sent you here? Did the two Men of Sacrifice, who was a danger to us in the civilization remains, have something to do with you?”

Lyu Liang was very smart. Hearing only a mere hint from Huangfu Gang, he thought of many things immediately, which seemed to have nothing to do with the current topic.

Huangfu Gang was stunned, but then he said with a laugh, “You’re so brilliant! But even so, you still call me ‘brother Huangfu.’ As such, the public’s comment about you is true! This may also be the major reason why you are always able to obtain opportunities and a.s.sistance from others! I’m so jealous of you!”

After he said that, he lifted the pot and gulped down the wine directly. Under Lyu Liang’s gaze, he went on softly, “Do you know? I was asked to kill you when you first showed up here. The two in the civilization remains, are the most powerful among my people, but not only did you go out unharmed, but also obtained such an immense opportunity. From then on, I realized that maybe I should treat you in another way!”

Lyu Liang also took a sip of the wine. He was surprised at Huangfu Gang’s frankness and said at once, “That explains a lot. Now, I’ll also put it bluntly. Are you the one behind Anye Tianlong’s death?”

“Haha, it’s so relaxing to talk with smart people! You may have guessed what happened. The fog is a remnant soul of a preeminent devil, who lost all his strength, except for his formidable defense capability! I just lent the devil to Anye Tianlong, and once he could infuse into the Divine Soul, ho ho…” Huangfu Gang didn’t finish the sentence, and grinned from ear to ear.

With a wry smile, Lyu Liang shook his head and said, “It’s okay to kill him. I also want to end the old grudge between us. However, that way, I can’t search his soul anymore.”

Huangfu Gang laughed and conjured up a small cloud of gray fog. Seeing that, Lyu Liang was stunned, and then his eyes lit up, because he knew what it was.

Huangfu Gang handed the fog over and said with a smile, “This is the part of Fog Devil that was infused into Anye Tianlong’s Divine Soul at that time. A small part may be missing, but generally, it is a good copy of his sea of consciousness. I hope it can help you somehow. Please take it as my apology.”

Lyu Liang took the fog and placed it into his cave residence. Then, he said softly, “Judging by our stands, we have similar enemies. And now you killed Anye Tianlong and revealed your ident.i.ty. Are you turning over a new leaf?”

Huangfu Gang didn’t answer his question. Instead, he gave Lyu Liang a meaningful look and asked, “Can we be friends?”

Hearing that, Lyu Liang was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, “To be honest, I will need time to answer that question. But we can be allies during the wartime!”

Huangfu Gang was also stunned, and then he said with a laugh, “Hahaha, yes! A temporary ally! As you wish, we can be friends, at least in the wartime!”

Huangfu Gang lifted the pot, and Lyu Liang clinked cups with him. Then, they gulped the wine, reaching a tacit agreement, of being temporary allies.

Although Lyu Liang still knew little about Huangfu Gang, he was willing to accept this result. After all, an enemy’s enemy could be a friend.

“Brother Lyu, let me tell you a story. You are smart and will know what I am trying to say.” Huangfu Gang took out another pot of wine and a new cup for himself, and then refilled both their cups. After that, he had a rare, serious look on his face.

“Over two thousand years ago, in a secluded, small village in the Devil Realm, there was a kid and his mother, who were from the Devil Clan, and supported each other. As for his father, the kid knew little about him, except that he was from the Human Clan. And his mother was a powerful figure, at the Devil Commander level. When he was five years old, he obtained an opportunity to possess four Spiritual Roots, and was then treated as a genius. But that didn’t bring any good to them, except for a h.e.l.lish life!”

“All of this happened because of the mother’s unique const.i.tution. She had a rare Divine Const.i.tution, which can help other people improve their cultivation, and it is called ‘Spirit-empty Body.’ One day, a group of powerful cultivators appeared, and killed all the villagers mercilessly, except for the mother and the kid. In the end, they kidnapped the kid, and coerced the mother into signing a master-servant contract, with the leader.”

“After that, the mother became a cultivation furnace for the leader, and even for other people of that family! And the kid was cultivated as a killer. The leader promised him that, as long as he could finish the tasks a.s.signed by the family, he could see his mother frequently. As such, the kid, whose mother was his only relative, had no other choice, but to do that!”

“Since he was 10 years old, he had been sent to execute all kinds of tasks, including lurking, bugging, and killing.” “Every task was a risk on his life! But while he was threatened by death, he also obtained some immense opportunities. At the age of 12, the kid got into the Devil Source Sea of the Devil Forbidden Ground, by mistake. When he was about to be swallowed by the turbulence, fortunately, he entered a mysterious, ancient mausoleum. There, the kid got the biggest opportunity in his life, and that was the legendary Fight Devine Body!”

“From then on, the kid was treated differently. The tasks he needed to perform became lesser and lesser, and finally, he could concentrate on the cultivation. During the period, several strangers appeared, to whom, even the leader showed much respect. Among them, a hideous female, impressed him most. It was not because she was ugly, but because she was the only person to be kind to him, except for his mother!”

“The female not only provided many rare materials that the kid needed, but also asked the family to take good care of his mother. In the days that followed, the kid met his mother, whenever he wished. But the mother looked withered, and what was worse, her cultivation had been reduced to that of Early-stage of Devil Man!”

“The family obeyed the female’s order and treated them a little better. But when she left, the kid was warned that, if he dared say anything unnecessary to that female, he would never see his mother again. After five hundred years of torment, the female came again and took away the kid. She said it was for his subsequent cultivation.”

“The kid followed the female to an unknown region and joined a mysterious organization. There, he met some cultivators, who were much more formidable than he expected. Under the guidance of these powerful figures, the kid’s cultivation improved rapidly. After another nearly a thousand years, his strength could rival that of the family leader, and the female gave him a new t.i.tle ‘The Disciple of Yan.'”

“In the years that followed, for some reasons, the kid was sent back to the family of the Devil Realm. Although his status was promoted, for the leader and his son, he was merely a stronger dog! The kid bore all of these in silence, just so that his mother would suffer less pain. After seeing his mother’s haggard face over and over again, the kid vowed that he would definitely destroy this family!”

“Later on, the kid also executed some tasks a.s.signed by the mysterious organization. Although they were all tough ones, the kid dealt with them easily, with his mighty strength. The last task was to kill a cultivator from the Ghost Realm. That was a very fierce battle for him. The kid stimulated his immature Fight Devine Body and defeated the opponent. Finally, the opponent escaped, but was wounded.”

“After that, the kid never performed any more tasks. Apart from healing himself, he began his thousand-year closed-door meditation. After the meditation, under the organization’s permission, he returned to the family, because he missed his mother.”

“When he went back, he wanted to meet his mother, but his request was rejected. The leader told him that, as long as he could fulfill a task, they would, not only let him meet his mother, but also release her!” Under this immense temptation, the kid agreed to perform the task of being a war lurker. He went to the enemy’s camp and won the battles with his excellent strength, time and again. Finally, he managed to become one of the superstars there, who had the greatest strength!”

“Although he was lurking, his heart was filled with resentment. Every hour and moment, he wanted to kill the family leader of the Devil Realm. So, when he dealt with the family, he also tried to find every opportunity to do that. Finally, his efforts paid off. Another rare genius appeared, and everything started coming true!”

“When he planned to kill the leader’s son, he also decided to save his mother and annihilate the entire family of the Devil Realm! Probably, his own strength was not enough, but if he can obtain the a.s.sistance from that genius, all of these will not be a mere dream!”

After Huangfu Gang finished the story, his eyes lit up expectantly. He lifted his cup and said seriously, “Brother Lyu, now, this kid needs your help. When the war here is over, please go with him to the Devil Realm, and annihilate that merciless, depraved family!”
